JEHOVAH-JIREH - "The Lord our provider" - This is also the name Abraham gave to the place
where the Lord provided a sacrifice in place of Isaac. (Gen. 22:14).
JEHOVAH-NISSI -"Our banner, a banner of
love and protection" - Also the name Moses gave to the altar he built after defeating the
Amalekites (Ex. 17:15).
JEHOVAH-SHALOM -"Our perfect peace" - Also the name Gideon gave to
the altar he built at Ophrah (Judges 6:24)
JEHOVAH-TSID-KENU -"The Lord is our righteousness" - The name is applied to
a future Davidic king who would lead his people to do what is right and thus
bring peace (Jeremiah 23:6) and to
the restored city of Jerusalem (Jeremiah
33:16). The name is possibly a play on the name of Zedekiah
("Righteous [is] the Lord") who reigned from 597 to 587 B.C.
JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH -"The One Who is with us everywhere for He is Omnipresent"
- The Jerusalem of Ezekiel's vision (see
Ezekiel 48:35 margin) was known by this name. Compare text at Isaiah 60:19-20 and Revelation 21:3.
JEHOVAH-SABAOTH -"The Lord of Hosts, our
Protector." C.H.
Spurgeon said this about the phrase "The Lord of Hosts: The Lord
rules the angels, the stars, the elements, and all the hosts of Heaven; and the
Heaven of heavens is under His sway... [the Lord] is on our side -- our august
Ally; woe unto those who fight against Him, for they shall flee like smoke
before the wind when He gives the word to scatter them." See text at Psalm 46:7.
JEHOVAH-RAAH -"Our Shepherd Who tenderly
leads us, loves us and will keep us safe." - the famous Psalm 23 tells us that "The Lord is
our Shepherd and we shall not want...." Being illustrated as a shepherd
implies a relationship with His sheep (His believers). The term shepherd
appears approximately 80 times in the Scriptures, denotating meanings of:
feeder, keeper, companion, friend, pastor and herdsman.
JEHOVAH RAPHA รข€“ -"I
am the Lord Your Physician or I am the Lord Your Healer - this name especially was
a Name God prophetically spoke about Himself, not one that someone gave Him. Exodus 15:26.
